If not abolished

Chapter 386 The future

"You won't say anything else except this, right?" Zhu Di was so angry that he kicked him.

Zhu Di was very angry and used 80% to 90% of his previous strength. The King of Zhao was kicked directly and fell backwards.

"Father, Father, don't be angry. Maybe my third brother is not really being wronged. After all, it is also possible that those people deliberately framed him. Such a big matter should be investigated thoroughly." Upon seeing this, the prince immediately came over and grabbed Zhu Di.

"What evidence do you need? All the people involved in this case are either missing or dead. Who has such great ability? Could it be you?" Zhu Di knew with his toes that it must be his youngest son who had not escaped, but just refused to admit it.

"This, your son dare not, dare not, dare not..." The prince was frightened to death after hearing these words, but he was not stupid. As long as he persisted quietly, the position would be his sooner or later. He had endured it for more than ten years. If he did such a thing at this time, didn't he think Zhu Di had too few reasons to depose him as the crown prince?

"I know you don't dare. Okay, let's stop here. You and Agui go back first. I will deal with this bastard myself." Zhu Di sent people away.

"Yes, father, please calm down and don't hit me too hard." The prince brought Zhu Zhanji out.

"Grandpa Emperor still can't bear to really punish Uncle San." Zhu Zhanji said after he came out.

"We are all family, why do we have to fight to the death? Give each other a way out. Okay, don't keep holding on to this matter." The prince advised.

Zhu Zhanji used to respect his father very much. Although they didn’t spend much time together in the previous life and their relationship was rather distant, this time, he clearly felt that his father was indecisive and too indulgent towards his two uncles. This was why the two men started a rebellion as soon as he ascended the throne. Although they were not very successful and were quickly suppressed by him, he was eventually charged with the crime of murdering his own uncles. If these troubles could be eliminated before that, it wouldn’t have happened…

"You think so, but Second Uncle and Third Uncle don't think so. They wanted to kill us that time. Now that Grandpa Emperor is here, they dare not really rebel. If Grandpa Emperor is gone one day, their wolfish ambitions will be unstoppable. Can father bear to do that to his own brother?"

The prince was stunned by Zhu Zhanji's question.

After a long while, he said, "If they really do something treasonous one day, then what should we do? Of course, it cannot affect the court." The prince knew that these small fights were harmless, but his son was right to remind them that it was impossible to keep doing such small fights. After all, everyone's ultimate goal is...

"Father, please remember what you said now." Zhu Zhanji continued, "But this time, I'm afraid that Grandpa Huang will also pick it up high and put it down gently. After all, Second Uncle is gone, and Third Uncle must stay in the capital, otherwise who can compete with you."

The emperor's art of checks and balances is no more than this. No one can fully trust it. It's sad and lamentable.

After the prince and his son left, Zhu Di began to scold Prince Zhao and Zhu Zhanqi.

"This is because the Crown Prince is soft-hearted. If you were in my hands, you would have died countless times. But it is also my fault. I doted on you too much. You went too far this time. I will punish you and keep you from attending court for three months. The same goes for Zhanqi. You are so young. Why don't you learn something else from your third uncle? Why do you learn these things?" Zhu Di was so angry when he looked at the uncle and nephew.
